TableData

public class Data
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Describes custom data for a person in a pedigree. Each data item added to a person must be linked to a unique field that is defined in the ProgenyAnywhere data dictionary.
The data dictionary is a lightweight local database used to define only those fields in the user's database that were loaded into the control in order to be able to identify the types and character of custom data added to people in the pedigree.
The example below shows how a field in a ProgenyAywhere datadictionary is used to add data to a person.

 
       DatabaseTable table = new DatabaseTable();
        table.setTableid(1);
        table.setTablename("localdict");

        int FIELDID = 1;
        DatabaseField field1 = new DatabaseField();
        field1.setFieldid(FIELDID);
        field1.setFieldname("Field 1");
        field1.setDatatype(DataType.TEXT_TYPE);
        table.addField(field1);
        Pedigree.getDatadictionary().setTable(table);

        //Now add data to a person using the database field defined above
        Individual ind = Pedigree.getFamily().getIndividual("1");
        Data l_data = new Data();
        l_data.setFieldid(FIELDID);
        l_data.setValue("Field 1 Value");
        ind.setData(l_data);

 
 

In the example above the type of the data added to the person is of type text. That type is linked (via fieldid) to the DataDictionary database field with the same fieldid as the one
used to add data to the person
